With the increasing expansion of trade exchanges in the international arena, the need to support this knowledge is felt more than ever.

In Iran, the Intellectual Property Policy Council is also preparing a draft law to support traditional knowledge. The result of this research is stated Since India has taken actions in supporting traditional knowledge from many years ago and has achieved some success both domestically and internationally given the historical, cultural, and legal affinities of India and Iran, its experiences can be useful in the field of legislation and more than that, the establishment of mechanisms for the collection and consolidation of information and protection of Iranian traditional knowledge as one of the richest sources in Asia.
